DESCRIPTION:There are two significant difficulties in building a general c
 riminal justice theory. First\, different from criminology theories\, crim
 inal justice produces multiple outcomes at different levels. Second\, the 
 scopes of existing theories largely originate from Western contexts and da
 ta\, few including cross-cultural variation. This paper outlines a unified
  theory to explain multiple criminal justice outcomes at the system\, inst
 itutional\, and individual levels across cultures under a paradigm shift f
 rom the current “monotonic paradigm” to a more general “comparison p
 aradigm.” The new paradigm logically contains the existing paradigm whil
 e broadening research questions and scope of criminal justice studies. It 
 constructs a new set of concepts and propositions\, presenting an effort t
 oward a general causal criminal justice theory.\n\nPlease register attenda
